【海平面下，一萬英呎】張芸個展

此次展覽為探討對自我本身的認知及人與人之間的關心及認同，

期望所有觀看者能重新審視對於自我的價值認同，不論高低及貴賤，並感謝和關懷身邊每一個人。

This exhibition is of exploring our self-cognition and the care and identification. It is expected that all visitors could be re-examining their own identification. Regardless of being noble or humble, every one of us must be thankful and careful for the people related to us.

大海就像是這個社會，而海裡的生物就是我們。我自己其實對於大海是感到恐懼的，但又被深藏在大海裡的生物所擁有的不可思議的美所吸引。有些生物能被世人看見，但與海中所有的生物總數相比之下是少之又少。大多數的生物儘管不夠引人注目，但卻有著不可或缺的重要性。在黑暗之中，他們才更為耀眼奪目，是大海的寶藏。在這個社會裡，我們都像是大海裡存在的那些微小的海洋生物。那些默默付出卻被忽略的人，都是這個社會的寶藏。看似微不足道但每個人都是一個讓社會轉動的小齒輪，一個成功的企業家，身後有多少人的付出才能成就一個他和一個企業，一輛車子背後有多少人的努力才能讓車子問世，我希望我的作品可以給他們帶來溫暖，讓大家知道付出及努力會被看見，每一個人值得尊重。

The great ocean is like our human society, within it, every life in the ocean are like every single one of us. Living with thalassophobia, the creator of this series of work is actually afraid of the deep body of the ocean, yet she has also been attracted by the incredible beauty of the live-forms hidden deep down in the sea. Comparing with the total number of life-forms in the sea, those that can be easily seen are actually very few of the total numbers. Although most lives in the ocean are not eye-catching enough, they are indeed of indispensable importance. In the darkness, they are even more dazzling, just like the precious treasure under the sea. In this society, we are all just like those tiny living things in the ocean. Those people who devote silently are the ones being ignored the most. However, they are truly the treasures to our society. No one is insignificant to power our world. There are great efforts done by many unsung hands behind each successful enterprise and each industrial development. It is expected that this series of works can bring warmth to those the people who devote without spotlight. Every people need knowing their work must be sounding to someone always. Everyone deserves respect.

沫飛定律

海洋中的泡泡是每一個靈魂所懷抱的夢，慢慢的向上飄的過程會經歷許多難關，必須得小心翼翼地呵護著，等待浮出海面時刻以嶄新的樣貌飄入空中，擁抱自由，而最終能成為被大家所看見，跳脫框架的雲。

Law of the Mounting Foam

The bubbles from the foam in the bottom of the great ocean are truly the dreams embraced by every unique soul. In their ways of drifting upwards slowly, there will be many challenges. The bubbles must to be gently carried by the stream all the way to the surface of the sea, Eventually, like going to embrace the freedom, they rise from the sea level and float into the air, become the cloud that will be seen by everyone and will break free from the cocoon.

此系列作品使用複合式媒材，為大海增添朦朧之處，使得它包容著我們所有的階段。觀賞者無論是個體、群體皆能在燈光下或幽暗之時尋找自我和屬於自己的定位。

This series of works is created with composite media to add the haziness of the deep ocean, making it containing all stages of all work of lives. Visitors, whether individual or in group, shall be able to find themselves in the projecting of my work whether in the light or in the dark.
